    Cycling to work, roll call

    i have about a 20 mile trip one way. there was a time when i was able to ride to work and back. It has just gotten so crazy with all the traffic. The ride into work in the winter was the worst because of the darkness. So i started getting the wife to drive me to work. And then I would ride home...

    John Adams

    I watched both episodes last night. I was very impressed with whole thing so far. I am going to pick up the John Adams book by McCullough at lunch... It is quite refreshing to see such sacrifice by the men who helped build this nation. Oh how they would be shocked to see what a mess we have...

    John Adams

    Has anyone been watching this series on HBO? What are your thoughts on it so far? From a historical point of view. How well does it match up to the actual events? I have not had the opportunity to read David McCullough's book. Has anyone read it? Thanks!

    Computer nerds chime in

    Again, i thought the point was to stay in the $500.00 dollar range. I do believe that the latitude are a good deal for the their price. But from my experience and "browsing" they are a little bit higher priced than the vostro. The Vostro is still considered a "Business Class" system. Although at...

    Weimaraner owners ?

    I had a weim for the better part of 8 years. She was the typical weim. Highstrung unless she got her exercise. But one of the best dogs I have had the pleasure to be owned by. She was loyal, curious, intelligent and always at my side. She basically was like having another young child around...

    Who is using Summit injectors?

    It's not a bad price for the service. And I have been satisfied. What more can I say. Other than it beats paying for new ones! When I replaced my engine a while back. I thought about just buying new ones. But hell, they are not complicated. Why not just have them cleaned and flow tested? I...

    Who knows chainsaws?

    If you have not flipped your bar yet. Try that. A lot of time the wear is only on one side. If the tip where the spocket is at is level. And not worn too bad. Then just take the chain guard off. Remove bar and chain. Clean.. and put bar back on upside down. install a new or freshly sharpened...
